I got the call from HR and asked for CTC X.
At that time they agreed on the X.
After this 2 technical rounds were scheduled and I was able to clear both the rounds. After these rounds, they were supposed to discuss the salary. But got the message from HR that due to budget constraints we cannot proceed with your candidature.
If the company doesn't have the budget, then why schedule the time and waste the time of interviewers along with mine.
The interviewers were good and kept the interview atmosphere relaxed.
